Patient Data
This chapter describes procedures for storing, viewing, and transferring patient data from the
Propaq MD to an external system, such as a personal computer or handheld device.
Note: Before deleting log files from the Propaq MD, view the files on a personal computer to
verify that they have been successfully transferred.
Note: Data transfers will not be successful if the USB flash storage device is full or does not
have sufficient memory available. Always use a USB flash storage device that has at
least 128 MB available.
WARNING! Do not connect non-isolated equipment to the USB port while monitoring a patient.
Storing Data
The Propaq MD unit stores a combination of 24 hours (at one-minute intervals) of patient trend
information, one thousand time-stamped events, and 32 snapshots (24 second duration) for the
patient being monitored. The actual number of trends, events, or snapshots stored could be
more or less depending on the use profile. When the data storage is at capacity, the log becomes
full and the patient data must be cleared or transferred before the Propaq MD unit can store
additional patient data. Data will not be lost if the Propaq MD unit is turned off, or if the battery
or auxiliary power adapter is removed.
